Wow! This testing you are doing is a great help for all the developers. Thank you, I was going to do it myself after Creole 0.5.

I just don't understand the comments you've written here. I did my own test: http://helios.wmid.amu.edu.pl/~sheep/cgi-bin/index.cgi/BoldAndList and I can't see any difference from the "sample" rendering, especially no backslashes or missing newlines(?).

**Update:** Ok, I see now, the sandbox link in [[Engines]] is to some old test wiki I left lying around. Sorry about that, fixing it now.

The PEAR Text_Wiki sandbox should work now. The two backslashes before the list were taken with all following newlines and interpreted as a single break...

Dashes for lists are also supported, experimentally.

Very good idea, this testing!

Why should the penultimate line look like "this text does not close, see what happens ** not closing**" when the bold tags aren't closed? Shouldn't it be "this text does not close ** not closing"?

That'd require infinite (unbound) lookup to parse.

If that's a requirement on Creole parsers, it should be specified somewhere. After all, regular expressions are quite happy to look until the end of the file to see if a tag is closed; "unbound" lookup is only a problem for certain parser classes. If it's up to the implementer, it should not be in an ambiguity test as a pass/fail requirement.
